Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot in Anime & Manga.
- Samuel Leroy Jackson voices a guy with a huge afro that uses a katana to fight Ron Perlman and his Guns Akimbo and "does the nasty", with Kelly Hu, to a soundtrack by The RZA. Only on Afro Samurai.
- You forgot his Dual Wielding, cyborg former best friend who wears a giant teddybear head with a respirator in it.
- And the Giant Monk with a rocket launcher in his backpack. Another monk is a cyborg that talks like a stereotypical black preacher with ho's and has a Red Right Hand.
- You forgot his Dual Wielding, cyborg former best friend who wears a giant teddybear head with a respirator in it.
- In Azumanga Daioh, the girls are having problems deciding which theme they should pick for the School Festival. Overused ideas like a café, or a haunted house are quickly dismissed. Then they start talking about combining those (and with cute things as a third idea), then Osaka gives us this gem:Osaka: Homerun!!
Yomi: What!?
Osaka: Let's mix them all!
Osaka: A haunted café with cute animal ghosts!
Yomi: I don't get it.
Chiyo: What does she mean with "Homerun"?
Osaka: Simplifying...
Yomi: Nobody asked.
Osaka: It's full of adorable dogs and cats in the café. [Beat] And they are all dead. - Biomega, or to be more specific, Kozlov Grebnev. Cyberpunk and zombies are cool, cyberpunk zombies are even cooler but a Russian talking bear with a sniper rifle is in a league of his own.
- Black Butler's Campania plot arc: your basic Titanic with zombies, demons and deathgods in Victorian England story.
- Blassreiter presents a nanobot-infested shapeshifting Made of Iron Badass Biker cyborg saint swinging the blade he grows, while riding a shapeshifting jet Cool Bike with AI who talks via Fairy Sexy projected girl. There are other... interesting characters where these two came from. Even the mooks are Brainwashed and Crazy Zombie Infectees transformed by nanobots, sometimes even corpses reanimated by nanomachines, making them cyborg zombies Made of Iron. Then there's Mini-Mecha built by the Ancient Conspiracy. It Makes Sense in Context.
- Bleach There are four main soul groups: human, Hollow, Shinigami and Quincy. Within these groups, there are 'tainted' forms as represented by Visoreds (hollowfied Shinigami), Arrancar ("shinigamified" Hollows), and Fullbringers (magical humans born to Hollow-tainted human parents): Ichigo is the most bizarre mixture of any character in the manga. His father is a Shinigami who underwent "humanification" to make him a Shinigami/human hybrid. His Quincy mother was hollowfied by a hollowfied Shinigami; Ichigo's inherited humanity and Shinigami from his father, and humanity, hollowfication, Quincy and Shinigami from his mother. He's human, Hollow, Shinigami and Quincy all rolled into one. And, to cap it all, has Fullbringer powers as well.
- And then he gets the powers of Hell in one of the movies!
- Bodacious Space Pirates introduces several other pirate crews in its final arc. Including one that has a ninja theme going. Ninja Space Pirates has gotta count.
- Brave Command Dagwon has Dagshadow who can transform into a robot, dragon, and jet and can also combine with a tiger, wolf, and eagle to become Shadow Dagwon.
- Shadowmaru from Brave Police J-Decker who can transform into six different forms! Though it helps that he is a Reused Character Design of Sixshot.
- Brigadoon: Marin and Melan has the Gun-swordsmen: three robots who sport swords on one arm and guns on the other. In addition to having Healing Factor, they can also fly.
- Between the beginning and end of any series connected to Bubblegum Crisis, the Boomers will evolve from standard cyborgs into magical floating fusing ghost zombie cyborgs. Special mention to the Sexaroids from the OVA, who are Lesbian Vampire Robots from Space!
- The pirate Perry from the manga Burning Hell. He is a pirate who uses a high speed fighting style based on Voldo-like claws. On chains. Also, he is dead and keeps on moving thanks to his captain's dark magic. He doesn't have any robotic parts but making this trope 3/4 literal still deserves some credit.
- Chainsaw Man consists of individuals possessing supernatural traits from being that ables them to transform their bodies have either the upper or lower parts of their heads become a chainsaw, bombs, shark, and puppets that also encounter creatures like a headless chicken.
- Claymore is apparently all about a BFS wielding silver eyed albino warrioress with at least two Badass Transplants and a switchable Superpowered Evil Side seeking revenge against an all powerful One-Winged Angel able to shapeshift into a Cute Mute.
- The reason why the Jeremiah/Sayoko pairing in Code Geass is so popular. He's a cyborg and she's a Ninja Maid.
- Well, that and massive amount of LOYALTY.
- The Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally spinoff also features Zombie Knights piloting Zombie Mechas. Who fight by jumping out of their mechas onto enemies'.
- Cowboy Bebop: In "Jamming with Edward", Jet sarcastically sums up the picture he's gotten of Radical Ed as a seven-foot ex-basketballer Hindu guru drag queen alien. As it happens, she's none of those things, instead being a child prodigy hacker with near-prehensile feet, although you could be forgiven for thinking "alien" was true.
- Come on down to Cromartie High School, and you'll get to meet the likes of delinquents, robots, aliens, monkeys, and some dude who looks like Freddie Mercury from Queen. Those are all students, by the way.
- Robots? What robots? I haven't noticed any robots around Cromartie. I hope you're not considering Mechazawa to be a robot, just because he has very shiny, pale skin! He's just as normal as the rest of us!
- There's a character in the second season of Darker than Black who's a sociopathic Psycho Lesbian ninja with a Wooden Laser Katana.
- Senshi of Delicious in Dungeon is a dwarven, dungeon survivalist, golem farmer, Chef of Iron, Team Dad.
- Speaking of Katsuyuki Konishi, his role in Dennou Boukenki Web Diver is Garyun, who is basically a Pirate Ship Zombie Robot Electric Swordsman Dragon in Cyberspace. Yeah, it's as absurd as it sounds.
- Basically the whole series is made on this trope. All the Web Knights, for example, are a combination between a Vehicle and an Animal or mythological creatures.
- Digimon: The blue MetalGreymon in particular are basically winged cyborg dinosaur zombies. The orange ones lack the zombie part as their flesh don't rot.
- The villains of DinoZaurs are dragon dinosaur vampiric skeletal alien Transformers (okay, those are aliens too, but these aren't made of metal) with glowing eyes. The heroes are the same, except for the fact that they're not dragons, not vampiric and not alien, and thus considerably less awesome.
- The Dragon Ball episode "Beware of Robot" features a Xenomorph skeleton pirate robot.
- The Saiyans are a race of were-monkey caveman space pirates.
- Piccolo Daimao was a demon alien emperor and kung-fu master, complete with his own gi, spaceship, and skull throne.
- Eureka Seven, anyone? Sky Surfing Humongous Mecha that transform into Le Mans-esque supercars, all while running on The Power of Love.
- Mystogan from Fairy Tail is a Quintuple Staff Weilding ninja Alternate Universe prince mage.
- Nazis, human-animal hybrids, genderless shapeshifters, ninjas, a cute little pseudo-Chinese princess that can use magic and has a dwarf panda as a pet, mutated zombies, spy prostitutes, and housewives that punch bears in the face: all these and more in Fullmetal Alchemist.
- Ladies, gentlemen and critters, observe a screenshot
◊ from Full Metal Panic!, where you may see an elf with taser gun and a teddy bear running around in body armor. - Volfogg in GaoGaiGar. Come on, he's a giant Robot Ninja spy that transforms into a Police car. And can combine with a transforming Motorcycle and Helicopter on top of THAT.
- Compare his Zonderian rival for the first parts of the anime, Pinchernone (or Penchinon, if you prefer it), who compromises the Pirate Zombie Robot of the trope title. In human form, he takes the form of a sailor, and he is always seen sitting and with a huge grin on his face. Late in the series, back as Tomoro-117, he actually befriends Volfogg, with Volfogg commenting on him as an "interesting friend".
- In GaoGaiGar FINAL, they certainly showed just how badass Volfogg is. While getting his ass kicked, he managed to get away, set up a holographic projector, hide, and backstab Polturn... WITHOUT POLTURN NOTICING! Must be because of his Seiyuu, The Great Kamina.
- A ridiculous amount of things in Getter Robo, particularly anything created by the Dinosaur Empire (since all their creations are by default "Dinosaur + 'x'". A ''T. rex'' attached to a twin-barrelled giant tank being backed up by dinosaurs with guns riding on the backs of dinosaurs with missile pods attached while robot pterodactyls fly overhead? Happens all the time.
- Ghost in the Shell brings us the Major: a ninja cyborg bisexual police-officer assassin hacker VR porn star.
- GUN×SWORD is a Space Western about a Tuxedo Wearing auto-healing Badass who goes around in search for vengeance kicking ass, stopping bullets with his sword and piloting an empathic Humongous Mecha competing against a samurai.
- Gyo has Robot-legged zombie fish! Made with neither screws nor solder! By ghosts!
- This was the point of Haruhi Suzumiya's student film, which was about a time-travelling Magical Girl Battle Waitress and strove to fit every Japanese Media Trope they could manage into 21.5 minutes.
- Hellsing and its Nazi vampires. Synthetic Nazi vampires, people!
- And a Nazi teleporting catboy.
- Vampire Nazis eating babies fighting Ku Klux Krusaders both intent on destroying London.
- Don't forget two-gun sharpshooter shapeshifting unknowable horror/little girl Dracula.
- To sum it all up. Dracula fights Vampiric Robot Nazis, with guns.
- Well... Dracula fights Vampiric Robot Nazis, Nazi Werewolves, and Catboys, all created by Nazi Mad Scientists and led by a cyborg while an Organization strikes back while a rival Organization that's actually the Catholic Church attacks both of them all in all Destroying London.
- As of Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it White, England is officially a secret agent/wizard/pirate/ninja.
- Ginkotso from Inuyasha, can't go wrong with a zombie cyborg that later become a tank at the near end of the Feudal era of Japan.
- In Episode 6 of Is the Order a Rabbit? when Cocoa learnt about Aoyama, she thought about being "the neighbourhood international barista lawyer who bakes pastries while pursuing the path of a novelist." Doubles as a Continuity Nod; she imagined all except the novelist point in Episode 3.
- Is This A Zombie? is about an ordinary high school boy who gets murdered and becomes a cross-dressing Magical zombie. With a pink chainsaw.
- There are also Vampire Ninjas.
- Lampshaded in-universe:
Ayumu: What are you, a vampire ninja psychologist now? - Apparently, the new villain is an ordinary high school girl who is actually a Magical Girl Zombie Ninja Vampire... Serial Killer.
- There are also Vampire Ninjas.
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure loves this. First, it's zombie vampires who are fought with Hokuto Shin Ken. Then it's better vampires who eat vampires fighting a Brit, an Italian, and a cyborg Nazi who looks like Guile. Then a vampire who can stop time and his buddies with wacky Psychic Powers fighting two Japanese high school students (also with said Psychic Powers), the aformentioned Brit (now a Cool Old Guy who looks like Sean Connery), a Muslim fortune teller who can control fire, a Frenchman with ridiculous hair seeking to avenge his sister, and a supersmart dog who can control sand. Those are just the first three parts.
- Here◊ is a comic that basically gives a quick summary on each part.
- DINOSAURS RIDING DINOSAURS!◊
- Here
- Kogarashi of Kamen no Maid Guy: A super-muscled male Meido with a Cool Mask, 37 senses, X ray vision, Prehensile Hair, the ability to freeze people with his voice, and Nigh-Invulnerability, who used to teach at MIT.
- Two of Kill la Kill's major characters are Senketsu and Junketsu, sentient, vampiric Sailor Fukus that can transform into incredibly Stripperific Power Armor.
- The whole point of Kujibiki♡Unbalance was to make a show with every possible anime trope to give the characters in Genshiken something to talk about. Witches, aliens, ninjas, whatever, for a mere three episodes.
- Lyrical Nanoha delights in taking the normal Magical Girl template and checking how much seemingly unrelated stuff they can combine it with. For example, Vita is a Really 700 Years Old Elegant Gothic Little Miss Badass sentient program that wields a mechanical hammer that can become rocket-powered, sport a drill, or grow to the size of a large building for Humongous Mecha smashing.
- And since every series needs to have a variation of the trope title, StrikerS Sound Stage X featured the Mariages, best described as Shapeshifting Kamikaze Cyborg Zombie Stormtroopers.
- Did we mention Vivio Takamachi the royal age-shifting alien lesbian mage/martial artist with two mothers who was cloned from the focal point of a religion?
- The Nakajima sisters; Subaru and Ginga are rollerblading combat mages, and they're cyborgs.
- Sein, Otto, and Deed are all magical, cyborg nuns.
- Macross:
- Macross 7 is a series about a rock and roll band that fights evil space vampires with their Transforming Mecha... and The Power of Rock and roll. No, really.
- For extra super bonus points, the OVA Dynamite 7 has the rock band with guitar-controlled Transforming Mecha fight interstellar poachers to Save The Space Whales.
- Macross Frontier has an Afro'd Hot-Blooded Ho Yay Male Bridge Bunny, a Token Mini-Moe Blue-Haired Genki Girl who can become the Big Sister Amazonian Beauty (just add water), and a Bifauxnen Jerk with a Heart of Gold just to name a few; it's like the series tried to put together all of the most incompatible tropes just to see how it would turn out. And it WORKS.
- Macross 7 is a series about a rock and roll band that fights evil space vampires with their Transforming Mecha... and The Power of Rock and roll. No, really.
- The 2010 Marvel Anime: Iron Man preview by Madhouse: Tony Stark flies around futuristic Tokyo to battle the Pretty Boy villain's army of humanoid mecha fired from a missile launcher. The villain himself has Beehive Barrier and a Powered Armor that looks like medieval armour.
- Mazinger Z: The Iron Masks and the Iron Crosses are corpses the Big Bad reconstructed using cybernetic parts and reanimated, programming them to serve him faithfully. Hence, they are cyborg zombies. Besides, the Iron Masks wear uniforms resemble the armor of an ancient Greek soldier, and the Iron Cross's uniforms are reminiscent of Nazi soldiers. It is fitting since their leader IS an ex-Nazi officer turned cyborg by the Big Bad.
- The design of the titular mecha also counts. Many described the Mazinger as a Demonic Knight Fortress, and in the case of Mazinkaiser Demonic Knight Fortress Body Builder wearing a diaper.
- Tohru, the main character of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, is a shapeshifting lesbian dragon maid.
- The first episode of Mnemosyne has the protagonist, an Immortal private investigator, use SHOTGUN GLOVES on a bunch of zombies.
- Mobile Fighter G Gundam starts off with sorta-post-apocalyptic kung-fu battling in Humongous Mecha using every ridiculous Martial Arts and Crafts move and evil foreigner stereotype they could think of, and it escalates from there. The Humongous Mecha design itself pretty much runs on this (Windmills, man. Windmills.) And I haven't even mentioned Schwarz Bruder and his German Ninjitsu yet.
- We forgot to mention that the Big Bad's army is made up of cyborg zombies. Cyborg zombies with giant robots.
- Cyborg zombies with giant robot zombies which come from another Giant Robot that can merge with a Space Colony and zombify other giant robots.
- The Gundam Maxter is a boxing surfing cowboy football player. Oh, yes.
- We forgot to mention that the Big Bad's army is made up of cyborg zombies. Cyborg zombies with giant robots.
- The original Mobile Suit Gundam has some instances of this, most obviously in Episode 37 (or 36 in the English dub), "The Duel at Texas." Samurai vs. Knight in the Wild West IN SPACE!!
- My Bride is a Mermaid has Mermaid Yakuza, one of whom is also The Terminator.
- My-HiME. It revolves around High School-aged Magical Girls (one of whomhas blue hair and rides a motorcycle) who can summon monsters and generate weapons out of thin air for battling Demonic Invaders, infiltrating and destroying a Kill Sat, and eventually fighting each other to the "death". May also contain Robot Girls, crossdressing Ninjas, Ancient Conspiracies, and a constant full moon that's visible even in full sunlight.
- Naruto:
- Kisame is a Shark Man that uses a shark-tooth sword that he can ride like a surfboard, will come back to him if he drops it, and cuts into the hands of anyone else who uses it.
- Let's not forget about Sasori, who is a ninja Brain in a Jar inside a puppet with built-in flamethrowers, water cannons, rotor blades attached to a pole on his back, and a poison-covered cable/tentacle in place of his stomache. And that puppet is inside another puppet with built-in poison Whip Sword and is capable of firing a Rocket Punch full of poison needles.
- Can't forget Zetsu. He's a cannibal venus fly trap man whose face halves argue with each other and can teleport from place to place by phasing into the environment. And he can split those halves apart.
- One of Pain's bodies appears to be some of kind of ninja cyborg. In fact all of Pain's bodies could be considered ninja zombies depending on how you look at it.
- In the final arc, Nagato is revived by the Edo Tensei, in addition to having access to the robotic limbs of the Asura path. This makes Nagato a zombie robot ninja.
- Kidomaru of the Sound Four is a ninja spider-man gamer who can use a giant bow and arrow.
- Shippuuden's first filler arc has the Leaf Village under attack by zombie ninjas. They even drool.
- Heck, the series has a Ninja Jesus, known as the Sage of the Six Paths.
- Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution has the ninja robot Mecha Naruto.
- Jinpachi Munashi one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist was a Ninja Pirate in life given his outfit and the eye patch nails it, upon resurrection he added Zombie as a trait.
- Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
- The villain of the Mahora Festival arc is a magical Chinese-Martian Kung-Fu Mad Scientist from the future who's descended from the main character in Powered Armor, who uses a robot army and demon-mecha that shoot stripper rays.
- And one of the said villain's helpers is a both a mercenary sniper note and a miko in a local shrine and then much later turns out to be also a half-demon.
- Don't forget that the team that defeated her included a winged, half-tengu albino demon BFS-wielding Samurai demon-slayer (think about that) Onmyouji, lesbian with a Body Guard Crush in cat ears and maid clothes who can shoot swords.
- Negi, the Welsh ten-year-old kung-fu wizard school teacher with a Super mode powered by dark Magic, who's also technically a prince who is the protagonist.
- SHARKS THAT KNOW KENPO. OK, it's not really a shark, but whatever.
- The Elegant Gothic Lolita who is in fact a Really 700 Years Old Vampire Kung-Fu Wizard Razor Floss-wielding Marionette Master is another of the main character's students when she's not being his Cynical Mentor in her slowed-time pocket-reality mansion.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion brings us giant Artificial Humans inhabited by the souls of the dead, wearing armor as a Restraining Bolt, and turned into cyborgs so they can be controlled by human teenagers that hook their nervous system directly into them.
- Ninja Nonsense has a crocodile Ninja.
- Ninja Senshi Tobikage, an obscure anime from the 80's, has animal themed transforming combining Ninja mecha. The titular Tobikage is a ninja robot. Heck, in some countries, its title was translated as Ninja Robots
- From One Piece, we have Franky (a Transforming Cyborg pirate shipwright powered by cola), Brook (a afro-wearing perverted skeleton pirate musician who can run across water), and Jimbei (a karate using yazuka looking Fishman pirate that acts as the helmsmen of the crew). And those three are just a few members of the Strawhats.
- Kinda invoked by the "Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance" — it was lampshaded in series that the naming of the alliance is due to Luffy's enthusiasm for ninjas. And since the aforementioned both Franky and Brook are part of the Straw Hats, the alliance is a literal case of the trope. Also, the "Minks" refer to Beast Men, adding to the awesome.
- Bartholomew Kuma, who himself is a pirate turned terminator-esque cyborg who uses a sumo-based fighting style, and recent chapters imply he might not be a living person anymore - albeit that is open for debate and isn't confirmed yet. But he is the anime character that is most near to become a literal, full-fledged Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot.
- Gecko Moria's zombie pirates.
- Ryuma was a samurai zombie pirate. Oars was a super giant zombie pirate, and when Moria helped him, he was a super giant rubber zombie pirate. Dogpen was a dog penguin zombie pirate. Jigoroh was a triple wielding swordmaster zombie pirate.
- Because most of the characters tend to be pirates by default, combined with rampant Fantasy Kitchen Sink and a Purely Aesthetic Era, this trope ends up being inevitably prevalent. You've got the aforementioned cyborg pirates, undead pirates (coming in zombie/ghost/skeleton variations), dinosaur pirates, gangster pirates, giant pirates (who resemble Vikings), clown pirates, heavy metal pirates, surgeon pirates and so on...
- Outlaw Star has Magic Ninja Space Pirate Ship Robots.
- Kujako-Oh the Peacock King. Buddhist ki-and-bead shooting monks ala Donovan vs Nazi-summoning demons, demon-summoning Nazis, demonic Nazis, cybernetic demonic Nazis with Gatling arms, and a bishounen vampire Nazi robot who isn't even aware he's a robot. And it's done in an incredibly serious and dramatic fashion. Yes, really. There's absolutely no comedic value behind any of it as opposed to some of the lunacy in Fullmetal Alchemist. And at one point, the Nazis went to war with one of the demon lords. And they won! Also, FMA appears to have a shoutout to one of the movies, King Bradley looks a heck of a lot like the demonic Nazi gaufuhrer, who plays a similar role to the anime's Dante. (He's the BVNR's subordinate, until the BVNR's robot form is revealed when he's supposedly killed, at which point he reveals his eyepatch hides not the mark of the homonculi, but is home to the Final Boss of the demon army!) Drinking games with this series will leave one a soused and broken wreck.
- Thanks to The Reveals in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, we now have Magical Girl Lich Witches!
- And seeing as how Witches are basically Eldritch Abominations, this results in Magical Girl Lich Witch Abominations! And one of them is a time-stopping Time Traveler with a Hyperspace Arsenal big enough to wage a one-girl war, and another (the title character) eventually takes the Witch and Abomination out of the equation and becomes a Magical Girl Lich Goddess and the Personification of Hope for her universe!
- Witches themselves often fit the bill too. This includes and is not limited to: A rosebush butterfly armed with scissors, a candy-caterpillar Xenomorph, a musical mermaid knight, and a giant flying clockwork jester.
- Ranma ½ has Pantyhose Taro, who has a cursed form made up of a Yeti, bull, eel, and chicken, with an octopus later added to the mix, and was named by an evil perverted old man.
- RideBack: Ballerina terrorist fighting totalitarian world order on a motorbike that can transform into a bipedal mech, while proclaiming to be pacifist. And wangsting.
- In Sailor Moon, all the Sailor Senshi are not only magical warriors, but also alien princesses (from their respective planets). Rei, a.k.a. Sailor Mars, is also an Alien Princess Magical Warrior Temple Priestess, and Hotaru, a.k.a. Sailor Saturn, is a Psychic Alien Princess Magical Warrior.
- At the end of the original anime's first season, almost all of the Sailor Senshi are killed off, only to come back as apparitions for the final battle, making them Alien Princess Magical Warrior Ghosts.
- A more fitting represenative for this trope, one of the Dark Kingdom monsters from the first season sent to spy on the Sailor Senshi is an Alien Ninja Paparazzi.
- Samurai Champloo combines samurai with hip-hop, and has ninjas, pirates, and zombies, but it really outdoes itself with Episode 23, which centers around a game of ninja baseball.
- Sengoku Basara: Date Masamune's horse is a motorbike (not like a motorbike, is a motorbike, complete with handlebars and exhaust pipes). Your arguments are invalid.
- The series actually does include ninjas, pirates, zombies, and robots as well.
- Soul Eater has a blue zombie ninja teaching in the school sponsored by the Grim Reaper. His weapon partner is a brown-skinned mummy nurse!
- Is it a blue zombie ninja, or is it a blue zombie with ranger/sf/random-elite-military training? Or is it a blue zombie ninja with ranger training?
- There's also Free, the Immortal Magic Wolfman.
- Space Patrol Luluco has Over Justice, a flaming skeleton space police chief that also turns into a gun.
- Strike Witches. Repeat with me: Mecha Fighter pilot Magical Cat Girl Lolis in Powered Armor. None of them wears skirts or pants. One of the leads also has a weakspot-revealing eyepatch and wields a katana. You just can't get any more awesome than that!
- CLAMP went overboard with Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-. The main group of True Companions comprises a half-Chinese Kid Hero that knows kung-fu and magic and has an evil clone, a (cursed) Ninja with a cybernetic arm, a (cursed) pretty vampire wizard with an Eyepatch, a (cursed) magical princess, and a cute cuddly mascot with immense magical powers. In case this wasn't enough, it also features witches, ridiculously convoluted magical conspiracies, loads of clones, dimension-travelling vampire twins, dimension-travelling bounty-hunter brothers, more clones, and the bad guy is so evil he actually wears a monocle.
- And has an ass-chin. Fay's eyepatch is more Eye Scream than Eye Patch Of Power, given that he lost said eye when said half-Chinese Kid Hero's clone ripped it out and ate it.
- Hazuki from Moon Phase is, to quote Professor Otaku, a lolicon vampire catgirl ballet surfer. How cool is that?
- The protagonist of Vassalord is a devoutly Christian cyborg vampire who works for the Vatican. And he wears glasses.
- Vinland Saga: The protagonist, Thorfinn, is a Viking boy who fights with dual daggers and is often sent on scouting and assassination missions. Oh, and he's a member of what is essentially a pirate crew. Viking Ninja Pirate?
- More than one reader has described Thorfinn as an emo Viking ninja. Then he becomes an emo Viking ninja LUMBERJACK.
- Episode 4 of Welcome to the NHK does this with Moe, to produce the 'perfect' eroge heroine: a wheelchair-bound blind glasses-wearing alien robot ghost maid with a split personality, Alzheimers and a terminal illness who is a childhood friend and classmate of the protagonist, and who was his lover in a previous life. The result is more disturbing than hoped, though◊.
- The Witchblade anime indeed features some ninja zombie robots... more precisely, saboteur/assassin zombie werecyborgs and combat robot zombies. Latter just because they were deemed more expendable than human soldiers with comparable equipment.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds really tries. The show is still about playing Card Games — however, the card games are played on motorbikes with transformer sidekicks!
- Card Games on Motorcycles?
- Card Games on Flying Motorcycles IN SPACE that are circling the sun.
- The Demonic Tournament in YuYu Hakusho includes, amongst other things, humans with spirit/psychic powers, demons reincarnated as humans, an ancient-turned-young midget martial arts master, demon shapeshifters, demon ninjas, human zombie cyborgs, a demonic artist that can kill you by painting you and a demon drunken master.
